As the BBC’s Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa came under fire when he mysteriously pulled out of his Eurovision hosting duties moments after Israel qualified last month.
Now it can be revealed that three days after the actor departed Doctor Who, he spoke at a pro-Palestine demonstration outside parliament.
On 3 June, the actor, 32, stood in front of a banner reading ‘Gaza: Actions Not Words’ and delivered a speech to hundreds of people at the Westminster event, organised by Choose Love – a charity that this week supported Greta Thunberg’s ‘selfie yacht’ trip to Gaza.
Gatwa had withdrawn from his role as a Eurovision Grand Final spokesman just 18 days before his speech at the rally.
It has prompted renewed speculation as to his motivation for pulling out of the role and whether the BBC was aware that he would do so if Israel qualified.
